Question

So, I have a setup where an UIPopoverController presents information at the cursor in a text view. When the cursor moves, I present it again. But this is jarring, and I’d like for the popover to move in a smooth, animated fashion. Will I really have to do that manually by using a series of presentFromRect calls, or is there a better way?

Answer 1

Unfortunately UIPopovers are not designed to be moved around like that.

The only way to do that without presenting it all over again is to write your own UIPopover replacement and animate its position using the standard CAAnimation or UIKit animation techniques.
